Marshall, Sorry - it was past midnight when I was writing. --- jumping thoughts...
The white spots in the grey matter of the brain are too small for MRI's to pick up. 'From a pathological perspective, all cases of polio are "encephalitic." Every case of polio exhibits damage in the brain, and may be associated with severe neuron damage in the spinal cord.' There is no such thing as an unaffected muscle in someone who had paralytic polio. (Dr. David Bodian, Pathologist) In 1947, there were three types of polio; Brunhilde, Lansing, and Leon for which the body makes three different types of antibodies. There are now 72 stains of polio virus, sometimes thought to have mutated from the vaccinations which have different virulence thus damage. Virulence appears to increase passing from person to person. Dr. Richard Bruno, author, The Polio Paradox 'Doctors need to divide by two the amount of anesthesia or sedative medication given, and polo survivors need two times as long for the effect of the medication to wear off'. (Selma Harrison Calmes, Md, Chair, Department Of Anesthesiology, Olive View UCLA Medical Center, Sylmar, California ) After polio, killed neurons allow blood vessels to open. The limb is so cold it can turn so blue, an uneducated doctor may wish to amputate immediately. Polio survivors¹ brains act as if they were hypoglycemic; blood sugar levels are about 15 points lower than the actual measurement. A borderline low result on a blood test should be considered abnormal in a polio survivor. - Bruno Dr, Richard Bruno, H.D., Ph.,D., World¹s leading expert on Post-Polio Sequelae. Clinical psychophysiologist, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Columbia University¹s College of Physicians and Surgeons Associate professor at New York¹s Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Director, Post Polio Institute, The International Centre for Post-Polio Education and Research, and the Fatigue management Programs at New Jersey¹s Englewood Hospital and Medical Center.

She is the founder of the CFS Diagnostic and Management Service, Essex, England and has treated people with ME/CFS for forty years. February 2001, in a talk presented to Lincolnshire Post-Polio Library Publication, Dr. Dowsett stated: "Research workers should first be directed to papers published before 1988, the time at which all specialised experience about poliomyelitis and associated infections seem to have vanished mysteriously!" Dr. William Campbell Douglas, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Polio Epidemic Hope this helps. Curious about the 'buried info'.......

I found it exhausting to fight. I finally discovered it's easier to go ''around or beyond'. I was a 'polio pioneer' - one of those who got the original Salk vaccination. I also got paralytic bulbar polio - (96-97% central nervous system destruction plus gunshot smattering of white spots - destruction - throughout the brain much smaller and far greater in number that MS - evidenced at autopsy). Am I missing something? Autopsies are done on the dead, but you seem very much alive. did you mean biopsy? Marshall
